This is related to Swarm automated test feature;

Here is a scenario,

1. An user requests a swarm review, Jenkins job will be run.
2. Job will create workspace using template workspace, template workspace's view mapping has all depots.
3. Any files in the depots can be requested, and then unshelved from a review, and run some tests. 

 

However, since there are so many files in depot, p4 sync -n and p4 sync -k commands are very slow.

Hence, the customer would like to know if there is a way to create workspace only without any sync command.
